I wouldn't be too worried yet. This happened before on something transformers that I pre-ordered from them, but I don't remember which one. The page was eventually restored and I ended up getting whichever one it was on time. I would keep an eye on the ship date (mine says November 15th release, arriving November 17th.) If they miss that date, then I would pre-order from Hasbro Pulse if you have a premium membership, or add something else you would end up buying anyway to get above $70 for free shipping.
Alright, fair enough. The only other time I've ordered anything from Amazon was Punch/Counterpunch so I was just concerned, but thanks for the quick reply

I'm willing to agree with this. I am also willing to say that Artfire will be a selects release or exclusive of some sort

So Sideswipe into Sunstreaker will not happen, Red Alert already fills that role). I can see this being continued in Earthrise, so Inferno and Trailbreaker will almost definitely happen, with Exhaust (Wheeljack) and Hubcap (Cliffjumper) as more than decent bonuses.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Exhaust has the cooler head though, I would prefer him over Slicer personally not that I'm opposed to them making a Slicer since he's cool to.
Yeah, after that fiasco, I'd really be surprised if Hasbro would ever touch another Exhaust toy with a ten foot pole.Wolfman Jake wrote:Deadput wrote:AcademyofDrX wrote:Forget about Exhaust, the Marlboro Bot. It's time for Slicer!

Slicer would be easier for Hasbro and Takara to do, just because it's a straight up repaint. Marlboro is a little tougher, not only because it requires a head retool, but also because they have to strike a delicate balance between the original Diaclone "Marlboro Wheeljack" deco and what is legally allowed in Hasbro markets, given that the original deco is trademarked by Philip Morris, and that it is a "children's toy" that references tobacco products. Takara had a HELL of a time releasing Masterpiece Exhaust a few years ago, and selling it outside of Japan was even more of a hassle for third party sellers like TFSource and BBTS.

That was before the incident, though.

Doesn't need to be exact, but...

So I just cancelled my Spinster and Crosshairs pre-order with Amazon in favor of Hasbro Pulse, since Pulse is saying ready to ship December 1st, and Amazon says January 1st.
However, I did notice something weird with the Amazon pre-order for Apeface. No, the Amazon Listing isn't fixed and still says page not found, and according to Amazon I'll still be getting him on November 19th.
I noticed that according to the original pre-order, they only had him as $24.99 instead of $29.99. I wonder if that has something to do with them removing his Listing from their site? In any case, I guess next week will tell if I'm going to be abandoning the Amazon order for Hasbro Pulse on Apeface as well, or if Amazon will come through, even without a current Listing.
TF-fan kev777 wrote:Okay, so even though Amazon's Listing for Apeface is currently gone, and in my order history they have him priced at $24.99 instead of $29.99, I did just get my ship notification and should have him tomorrow.

The listing is up for me and I just ordered him for $24.99. As you can see from the snippet, it says release date is tomorrow! Needless to say I cancelled my Pulse pre-order...
Wolfman Jake wrote:Awesome! I was able to find the listing on Amazon.com thanks to your tip! The price is still $24.99, advertised as marked down from $29.99. I put in my order and it should be here in a few days thanks to free 2-Day shipping with Amazon Prime. I've canceled my Hasbro Pulse order now too. I've got Rung and Singe coming from BBTS and got Rumble, Ratbat, Direct Hit, and Power Punch from TFSource earlier this week. I just have to wait now for Hasbro Pulse to fulfill my preorders for Astrotain, Crosshairs, and Spinister.
